Showing respect and appreciation by Polish people, forms of greetings in Poland. [31]
How do people show respect to one another in different situations? I'm not talking about one specific setting, I want to know many possible situations.
For example, in Japan they bow to one another, they call each other specific nicknames such as san/sama/chan, etc. Elders in a group or seniors are referred to as senpai. In my culture, kids kiss their parents hands and forehead, couples kiss each others forehead in front of their children to show their respect and appreciation to each other. we call people after their first born, for example if your son is Ali, your nickname is Abu Ali and the mother is called Umm Ali. This is a way to show respect when talking to strangers and also a way of intimacy and closeness among friends. In fact, my uncle kisses his elderly mother's hands and feet every time he goes to visit her.
I want to know more about these things. What do Polish people do normally to show respect to one another in different situations? Please tell me stories from your life and friends and family :) your habits and culture in regard of showing respect and appreciation.
